Choosing a Connection Method
Choosing a Connection Method
Connect the printer via Ethernet or USB. A USB is a direct connection and is not used for
networking. An Ethernet connection is used for networking. Hardware and cabling
requirements vary for the different connection methods. Cabling and hardware are generally
not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. This section includes:
■Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended) on page 2-3
■Connecting via USB on page 2-4
Connecting via Ethernet (Recommended)
Ethernet can be used for one or more computers. It supports many printers and systems on an
Ethernet network. An Ethernet connection is recommended because it is faster than a USB
connection. It also allows you direct access to CentreWare Internet Services (IS). The
CentreWare IS web interface enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked
printers from your desktop.
Network Connection
Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling is required for
Ethernet.
■If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required.
■If you are connecting to one or more computers with an Ethernet hub, or cable or DSL
router, two or more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One cable for
each device.)
If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the hub
with one cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any
port on the hub except the uplink port.

Choosing a Connection Method
Connecting via USB
If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. However, a
USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection. To use USB, PC users must have
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 or newer. Macintosh users must use Mac OS X, version 10.2
and higher.
USB Connection
A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your
printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB (1.x or
2.0) cable for your connection.
1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.

■Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-6
■Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address on page 2-7
TCP/IP and IP Addresses
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate
TCP/IP addresses and additional configuration information.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to
your computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s
Internet Protocol (IP) address.
PCs and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP address. It is
important that the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be
different. For example, your printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has
the address 192.168.1.3. Another device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
Generally, Macintosh computers use either TCP/IP or the EtherTalk protocol to talk to a
networked printer. For Mac OS X systems, TCP/IP is preferred. Unlike TCP/IP, however,
EtherTalk does not require printers or computers to have IP addresses.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically programs an IP address into every PC and printer on the network that is
configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and DSL routers. If you use a
cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP addressing.

Configuring the Network Address
Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address
If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use
the installer on the Software and Documentation CD-ROM to detect or assign an IP address to
your printer. For further instructions, insert the Software and Documentation CD-ROM into
your computer’s CD-ROM drive. After the Xerox Installer launches, follow the prompts for
installation.
Note: For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established
TCP/IP network.
Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address
There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address:
■DHCP (enabled by default on all Phaser printers)
■AutoIP
You can turn on/off both protocols using the control panel, or use CentreWare IS to turn on/off
DHCP.
Note: You can view the printer’s IP address at any time. On the control panel, select
Information, press the OK button, select Printer Identification, and then press the OK
button.

Configuring the Network Address
Manually Setting the Printer’s IP Address
Note: Verify that your computer has a properly configured IP address for your network.
Contact your network administrator for more information.
If you are on a network without a DHCP server, or in an environment where the network
administrator assigns printer IP addresses, you can use this method to manually set the IP
address. Manually setting the IP address overrides DHCP and AutoIP. Alternatively, if you are
in a small office with a single PC and use a dialup modem connection, you can manually set
the IP address.

Paper That Can Damage Your Printer
Your printer is designed to use a variety of media types for print jobs. However, some media
can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.
Unacceptable media includes:
■Rough or porous media
■Plastic media other than supported transparencies
■Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
■Paper with staples
■Envelopes with windows or metal clasps
■Padded envelopes
■Non-laser glossy or coated paper
■Perforated media
Paper Storage Guidelines
Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum
print quality.
■Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun
and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of
exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
■Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
■Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than
outside walls where moisture can collect.
■Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
■Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
■Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer.
Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream
wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
■Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the
bag and reseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic
bags.

Setting Tray 1 (MPT) Mode
Tray 1 (MPT) Mode defines the printer’s media handling behavior to better fit the kind of
printing you want to do. Three distinct modes determine how paper type and size are set for
Tray 1 (MPT), and which tray is used if you do not select a specific tray:
Automatic (Factory Default): Tray 1 (MPT) is the highest priority tray. It allows incoming
print jobs to set paper type and size. It prints from Tray 1 (MPT) if paper is present at the start
of a job that does not select another tray.
Dynamic: The printer searches the trays to find the paper size and type to match your print job.
If no size or type matches are found in Trays 2-5, and Tray 1 (MPT) media size and type have
not been set on the printer’s control panel, the printer sets the paper type and size from the
print job, and then prints from Tray 1 (MPT).
Static: Set the paper type and size on the printer’s control panel so that the printer can
determine which tray contains the paper type and size each print job requires. The paper type
and size of your print job must match the Tray 1 (MPT) paper type and size settings on the
control panel (to print from Tray 1 (MPT).
Tray 1 (MPT) Mode controls two aspects:
■Tray 1 (MPT) is used if paper is present in it (and no other tray is specified).
■How the paper type and size are determined if not set from the control panel.

Guidelines
■Use only paper envelopes specified in the Supported Paper Sizes and Weights table.
Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the
envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers.
■It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
■Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness
which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the
envelopes to seal before or during printing.
■Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
■Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of
the envelopes.
■If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made
specifically for laser printers.
Caution: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer.
Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox warranty,
service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is
available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas, please

Printed Colors Do Not Match Monitor Colors
Problem
The color produced by the printer looks different from the color that appears on the monitor.
Solution
For more information about color matching between the monitor and the printed document,
see the Advanced Features Guide at www.xerox.com/office/6360support
.
PANTONE Colors Do Not Match
Problem
The colors printed on the document do not match the Phaser 6360 PANTONE color chart.
Solution
To match the document colors to the color chart:
■If the application software allows the user to select a printer PPD file for printing a
document, make sure the Phaser 6360 PPD is selected. The PANTONE colors in the
printer are calibrated for the printer’s default halftone; overriding the printer’s default
halftone will change the printer’s color reproduction. For more information about software
settings for your applications, consult your application’s user manual.
■Turning off other color matching software, such as ColorSync or ICM color matching,
when trying to match PANTONE Colors is recommended. Using other color matching
software while matching PANTONE Colors can cause unpredictable color output. If you
choose to use a Color Management software, set the printer’s color correction to none, and
do not use the printer specific charts.
■To match PANTONE spot colors, select Properties, click the Color Options tab, select
Automatic color correction, click the Advanced button, and then select the Spot Colors
tab. For example, print documents using the None color correction if the PANTONE Color
chart was printed using none (the recommended setting). Also verify that the color’s
CMYK values match the CMYK values on the chart.
■The printed PANTONE charts can fade over time or when exposed to sunlight. Check the
color charts you printed against the PANTONE Color swatch book available from
PANTONE, Inc. You may need to re-print the chart, especially if it has been exposed to
light for some time. Storing the charts in a dark place helps preserve the color.
■Print a test page from your control panel to check the colors. If your printer has media that
is out of specification, or other supplies that are at the end of useful life, color adjustments
may not be able to get the printer to match PANTONE Colors.
